With postfix, I limit the maximum number of concurrent delivery sessions to a value that matches my configured maximum number of threads for clamd. If at any point the smtp gateway is receiving more e-mail than can be processed by clamav, it is safely queued by postfix. Even with all the extra overhead, I feel no lack of throughput; postfix can easily route messages fast enough to fully engage clamav. --Kyle _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
